Grease and flour either two 9×5 inch loaf pans or a bundt pan. Sift together flour, salt and baking soda, set aside. In a large bowl, mix white sugar and oil. Add flour and beaten eggs alternately a little at a time until combined. Stir in vanilla, then fold in nuts and apples. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes for loaf pans and 1 hour for the bundt pan. Test with a cake tester for doneness. During the last 5 minutes of baking, start the frosting. In a small saucepan, bring brown sugar, butter and milk to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Cook 2 1/2 minutes. Pour hot frosting over hot cake. Serves 10-12.
